Sailing
Charter a yacht including skipper for a day and get your feet wet. Endeavour Sailing, a fully RYA accredited sailing school, offer one-day Try Sail courses with an experienced sailor at the helm for 59 euros per person, including lunch, snacks and drinks. Sailing west to Playas de Papagayo where you can go for a swim, you’ll spend approximately seven hours on the water.
I recommend Endeavour Sailing. I spent an entire week on one of their Bavarias which was new, clean and a joy to sail. We anchored in one of the bays at El Papagayo for a swim and lunch, which was one of my highlights of the holiday.
If you don’t need a skipper, you can charter yachts from a number of providers who are based in the marina.
